The last time I flew internationally, I think I cleared customs in a matter of minutes. Unless I flew at least a few times a year internationally, I would not go out of my way or pay for expedited customs.

I mostly fly between the US and Canada, but when I went home earlier this year I didn't even talk to a person at US customs. DS and I scanned our passports into the machine, it took our pictures and printed the papers which we waved at a lady ushering us through to the international gates. There was no one working the booths and it was mid morning in Toronto so not a small, quiet airport. 

DS and I travel on different passports so I am prepared with a letter of consent from H and various documentation. Didn't even touch it.

Anyone has experience with a 2021 Toyota Venza?  We're eyeing one that's a good price and has all the features. We enjoyed test driving it, but wondering if others heard anything. The reviews are mixed. 

I bought one three months ago and I love it. Between DH and myself, this is our third Toyota. I just passed down my 2012 Sienna to my DC16 and I now have the 2021 Venza. The cargo space is smaller than the Rav4, but the ride and features in the Venza are nicer, IMO, and we didn't need the bigger cargo room.
